Mental characteristics
Zelus is the son of a deaf woman, Lazarus, and a hunter, Jaeger. He was born in a small village called Lokerren. Lokerren is a village that focuses on farming, animals, and crops. Zelus lived on a farm called Black Meadow farms and could be seen helping out. As a child he helped his mom out with gardening and tending to livestock. As he got older, Zelus began going hunting with his father. One day, he found an abandoned cub. He took it home, named it Fenrir, and nursed him back to health. Everyone in the family loved Fenrir. For his Education, he went to a one room schoolhouse. Everyone from 1st-8th grade were in the same class, taught by the same teacher. Once 8th grade hit, students have the option of going to a high school outside the village or stay and help out with their families. Most students chose that option. Zelus wanted to attend a high school but the nearest one was an hour away, and he wouldn't be able to help out due to being far, so he settled for studying.
At 18 there was a contest going up and people wanted Zelus to join it. He impressed everyone, won a huge scholarship, and was able to attend Rosewood University. While at the college, many people found it hard to believe someone from a small village located from away from any other town was able to attend such a famous and prestigious university and would get teased about it. One of his nicknames was "Country boy," and whenever did Zelus did something impressive, he would get comments like "Looks like country boy is smarter than we thought."
On March 5, 1937, a popular, foreign exchanged student was found dead on campus. Due to lack of evidence the police were thinking about marking it as a cold case. With the help of friends, Zelus was able to find killer by putting pieces of small hints together. The killer was a student named Thomas, who the girl broke up with the day before. Word got out to the public and attracted attention from the king himself. Zelus was given a trophy and automatic admission to law school, meaning he didn't have to apply or pay. When he graduated, Zelus married Pandora, who he met years ago in a bar, and they had their first daughter, Raven. They later had two more, Victor and Eve. Many years later, Nyx was born despite Pandora being over 20. After Nyx was born, Pandora started showing her true colors and their relationship was fading. When Nyx started going to school, Zelus began sleeping at the office, only coming home on weekends. After Raven ran away, Zelus only came home for holidays or other special occasions.
One day, after being convinced by his secretary to go home and take a break, Zelus discovered Pandora was having an affair with a guy she dated. They divorced and Zelus moved back in with his parents at Black Meadow Farms. He one day got a call that Nyx was in the hospital. She explained that Pandora blacked out and when the neighbor came over to check, they freaked out and called an ambulance. Since Nyx also dropped out of high school, she moved in with her dad and grandparents full time and cut off contact with Pandora and Eve.
Zelus attended a one-room class schoolhouse which had students from 1st-8th grade. He learned the basics of reading/writing, history, geography and math. Zelus wasn't able to attend a high school due to distance and wanting to be with his family, so he studied hard in hopes that he could get into a community college.
